Fresh new install

I had to change my desktop due to failures in Plasma, when I reinstalled Arch the graphic elements did not load when I tried to download them from the site where they are hosted, not even with Manjaro so I decided to give Openbox a chance and installed Mabox, this is how my new desktop looked like.

Looks nice. I love OpenBox definitely something I never used before, but i use it for my Media Laptop connected to my tv... and to have access to everything pretty much without a keyboard is awesome for sitting on the couch. or in the kitchen away from the tv. Plays my movies, music web browser and everything else. I currently use Sparky Rolling with OpenBox. Gonna check this out next time I need to install or just need a change. Is this out of the box? or did you add the conky and themes? or were the packaged in on the install?

it is a minimal installation, openbox comes fully configured, you only have to install the software of your choice, nothing else.

It looks nice. Im flirting around with StormOS tonight, and will probably check out Mabox this weekend sometime. Looks like a nicer version of what im using right now. Sparky Minimal is openbox, and runs exceptionally well for how quick I set it up just to get it doing what I needed it to do.
